linux has numa support,and in the case of integrated memory controllers 
like amd64, CONFIG_NUMA should be choice and linux support numa,is it 
right? if CONFIG_NUMA is not choice ,then linux could not work well in 
the case of integrated memory controllers even for amd64,is it right? 
and for the paravirt xen-guest-linux do not support  numa-aware  now ,or 
does it  support  numa-aware  if CONFIG_NUMA choiced?
Thanks in advance
